One of my favorite kinds of art is the sculpture. They can be made from so many different materials that the imagination is really the only limit. They can come in many different forms, colors, textures, and if it is handmade you can guarantee that there is no other piece exactly like it in the entire world (unless you believe we are living simultaneously in different dimensions as Einstein did). Sculptures can be small enough to be displayed on a shelf or cabinet, or gigantic enough to be shown to the whole world as part of a property.
One of my earliest childhood interactions with sculptures involved viewing Charles Russell sculptures (he was a country western/Indian artist) at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming with my Grandparents. If I correctly recall, one of my favorites was one of a buffalo. If you get a chance, go check it out. It is full of great artwork from many different artists and also features a gun museum. But for now we will take you on a tour of smaller proportions.
Steampunk Elephant “Battle Tusk”
This awesome elephant reminds me of a Dali painting. It is constructed with vintage brass and up-cycled clock parts.
Wood Sculpture – Skinny Rectangles
I love the look of texture on a wall, especially when it looks like the Northwest. Forest and Sea seem to come together in this piece.
What’s funner than a barrel of monkeys? A barrel of monkeys that don’t trash your house! Perfect for a child’s bedroom or play area, these monkeys certainly won’t do that.
During the Winter months you may want to add some color to your yard or garden. Included is a copper stake to “plant” your sculpture with.
Wow! This amazing work showcases hand carved spruce. Through years of carving, this artist has learned to use the wood’s grain to mimic feathers and get symmetrical body features.
The effect that a sculpture can have on an individual is just as unique as the person viewing it. Art is the result of creativity, and creativity is the fuel for changing the world and evoking powerful emotions. How will you let your feelings guide you?
